Your backyard should feel like another room in your home, a place to host dinners, watch games, and unwind under the Texas sky. With thoughtful shade and a cohesive design, the space can evolve to complement your home and the way you live.
Unshaded lawns often keep you indoors during hot afternoons, but Scapes Incorporated crafts custom outdoor structures Dallas families enjoy every season.
What Custom Outdoor Structures Does Scapes Incorporated Build in Dallas?
You can shape your backyard around the exact ways your family spends time outside.
CUSTOM PERGOLAS
Scapes' custom pergolas are architectural cedar beam structures built to support climbing jasmine and hanging lights. They give you reliable overhead shade without blocking cooling breezes across your patio while you sit outside comfortably on sunny afternoons, reading or sharing lunch with family.
LUXURY PAVILIONS
Scapes' luxury pavilions are fully roofed outdoor structures complete with dedicated wiring, ceiling fans, and recessed fixtures. This solid overhead shelter protects your seating area from strong Texas summer sun and sudden rain showers while you host weekend dinners and watch football games outside without checking the weather forecast.
COVERED PATIOS
Scapes' custom covered patios are structural roofline extensions built with matching brick, stone, and trim. They expand your home's roof directly over your patio with no awkward ceiling transitions; you step straight from your kitchen to an outdoor dining table for easy family dinners.
POOLSIDE CABANAS
Scapes' poolside cabanas are dedicated shaded retreats placed directly beside your swimming pool. These private structures provide sheltered lounge seating, towel storage, and privacy walls steps away from the water. You relax out of the glare between swims while watching your children play safely.

OUTDOOR ENTERTAINMENT STRUCTURES
Scapes' outdoor entertainment structures are custom hubs equipped with built-in gas grills, granite bars, and outdoor televisions. They keep all cooking, serving, and media in one organized location right in your yard. You grill dinner for guests without missing a single play of the big game.

CUSTOM DECKS & HARDSCAPES
Scapes' custom decks and hardscapes are multi-level timber platforms and natural stone patios built to fit your yard's slope. They convert uneven turf into flat, durable outdoor rooms with integrated steps and retaining walls. Your family gains sturdy, level ground for outdoor dining sets and lounge chairs.

Over two decades of local building experience ensure every structure fits your land and lifestyle naturally. Four-time D Magazine honorees and Best of Houzz winners build every structure to lasting standards.
What Does the Design and Build Process Actually Look Like?
FREE ON-SITE CONSULTATION
Our landscape architects walk your property with you to review your goals, lifestyle, and home architecture. You share how you want to use the space while we examine your yard's slope and sun patterns.
ENGINEERING, SETBACK, & PERMIT MANAGEMENT
We research local property setback lines, review neighborhood HOA requirements, and coordinate directly with licensed structural engineers if engineered drawings are required. Our dedicated team then prepares and pulls all city building permits so your construction proceeds smoothly under local municipal regulations.
3D VIRTUAL REALITY WALKTHROUGH
You wear an Oculus VR headset to walk through your future structure in full 3D scale. This preview lets you inspect lighting, finishes, and layout, with two revision rounds included to ensure every detail matches your vision.
MASTER PLAN CONSTRUCTION
Skilled in-house craftsmen build your structure using durable, weather-tested materials under one dedicated project manager. Daily job site cleanup and careful property protection keep your yard safe and neat throughout the entire build.
What Makes Scapes Incorporated the Right Choice for Your Dallas Outdoor Structure?
​​20+ YEARS IN THE SAME NEIGHBORHOODS
Your property stays under one roof from design through construction. No handoffs. Your dedicated team knows your vision from start to finish. That means fewer surprises and a backyard that works the way you imagined.
RATED 4.6 STARS ON GOOGLE
Real feedback from real Dallas homeowners gives you a clear picture of what to expect, not a guess.
AWARD WINNING HERITAGE
Earning Best of Houzz awards and D Magazine honors proves our craftsmanship, giving your family a dependable outdoor living retreat.
ONE TEAM HANDLES EVERYTHING
You get a single point of contact from first sketch to finished structure, instead of managing separate crews yourself.
What Actually Happens After You Decide to Add an Outdoor Structure?
DESIGN COMES FIRST, ALWAYS
That part takes 4 to 8 weeks. We measure, pick materials, and build out the full 3D layout before anyone touches a shovel.
STRUCTURE AND YARD ARE ONE
One team plans both, so nothing gets bolted on afterward or built in a different style than everything around it.​
​
SEE IT BEFORE YOU BUILD IT
Put on the VR headset, walk through your own design, and check the lighting and layout. Two rounds of changes are already included.
You know you want your backyard to change. You're just not sure yet what will actually work.
How Do You See Your Finished Outdoor Structure Before It's Built?
You put on a Google Oculus VR headset with your actual design loaded up. A flat drawing can't show you a beam that's too low or a fireplace in the wrong spot, walking through it at full size can.
The walkthrough uses your real materials and lighting. You're not guessing how the stone looks at night, you see it rendered right there, so you pick finishes you're actually sure about.
Two rounds of changes are part of the process. That means you fix things on screen, for free, instead of ordering a change once the crew's already on site.
The same weather-tough LED lights get mapped into the VR model too. You get to see how your patio glows in the evening before the sun even sets on install day.
Every client who does the Oculus walkthrough signs off on their design before we ever break ground. No surprises on install day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I hire Scapes Incorporated solely to build a standalone patio cover or shed?
We understand you may only need a single structure right now. While some property owners seek prebuilt 2 car garages, backyard storage sheds, sheds and garages, or recreational buildings for affordable storage to protect their vehicles, our landscape architects focus strictly on integrated master plans. We do not provide modular kits with free shipping, ensuring unmatched structural continuity and lasting quality.
How do your building methods handle rocky terrain and local municipal regulations?
Building on challenging soils is a routine part of Dallas construction. Our team manages all municipal regulations, engineering reviews, and general liability policy standards for your property. Whether navigating shifting clay or rocky terrain, our craftsmen use reinforced footings and high-quality materials. We ensure your freestanding pavilions, luxury patio covers, and rock retaining walls remain structurally sound for decades.
How do your custom outdoor structures hold up against the severe Texas climate?
Intense heat, hail, and high winds are normal environmental conditions across North Texas. We engineer every structure with durable timber, aluminum roof components, and weather-resistant finishes tailored for the Texas climate. From solid roof patio covers to premium aluminum pergolas, every element resists rot and warping. Your family enjoys lasting shade structures that maintain their beauty through every summer.
What architectural styles and custom specialties can you incorporate into my backyard?
Every home has unique architectural lines that require tailored styling choices. We provide total customization across hip roof patio covers, gabled roof patio covers, flat roof patio covers, and poolside cabanas Dallas estates demand. Our designs effortlessly incorporate outdoor kitchens, fire features, and privacy wall set options. This gives you an elevated space for entertainment suited for large family gatherings.
How long does the design-build construction process take from start to finish?
Investing several weeks in planning is standard for luxury architectural projects. The initial design and 3D CAD drawing phase takes four to eight weeks, including immersive virtual reality walkthroughs. Construction timelines depend on project scope, but dedicated project management ensures consistent daily progress. This structured turnkey solutions approach guarantees high customer satisfaction and protects your property value without unexpected delays.
